Was wondering if anyone has had period like cramps in early pregnancy? This is actually my 3rd pregnancy, the first resulted in my wonderful 3 year old, the 2nd in m/c. I've never experienced this pain before. i really feel like I'm gonna come on. Its just like the lead up to a period!! HELP..........

hi, im sure this is just your body changing , ofcourse if the pain gets worse or you star to bleed get onto your midwife/ GP asap

If this was the sort of time you were due to come on for your period then sometimes you'll get the symptoms as if you were going to.

Goodluck! Jo x x

Thanks for your advice everyone.....I work in the local A & E department so I phoned them this am and managed to get to speak with one of the dr's(perk of the job!!) He said I'm not to worry as it's perfectly normal due to all the stretching etc to feel some discomfort. But if the pain gets to a point where I can't bear it or I start to bleed then I am to go straight to A & E to be checked. Phew......

Glad you managed to speak to someone and they have put your mind at rest x It is very common in early pregnancy your whole body is preparing for what the next 7/8 months have in store for it. I had the same and found that if I had my feet above my pelvis it was easier so used to lay on the sofa with my feet on the wall most evenings

Just try and get as much rest as you can and no heavy lifting or anything.
